"The Ancient: Giants Under The Sun"
[Part 1]
[Instrumental]
[Part 2]
As one with the knowledge and magic of the source
Attuned to the majesty of music
They marched as one with the Earth
Ah
Sol, Dhoop
Sun
Ilios
Naytheet
Ah Kin
Saule
Tonatiuh
Qurax
Gunes, Grian
Surie
Ir
Samse
[Part 3]
[Instrumental]
[Part 4]
So the flowering creativity of life
Wove its web face-to-face
With the shallow
And their gods sought out and conquered
Ah Kin
[Part 5]
Do the leaves of green stay greener
Through the autumn?
Does the colour of the sun
Turn crimson white?
Does a shadow come between us
In the winter?
Is the movement really light?
And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the stories
That they had heard about
Does one child know the secret
And can say it?
Or does it all come out along without you?
Along without you
Along without you
Where does reason stop and killing just take over?
Does a lamb cry out
Before we shoot it dead?
Are there many more in comfort understanding?
Is the movement in the head?
And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the story
That they had heard about
Does one child know the secret
And can say it?
Or does it all come out along without you?
Along without you
Along without you

Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast

Your empty station there

It's not going to be easy to explain
My body has returned, my mind is all at sea
